Biochemical network analysis of protein-protein interactions to monitor the course of T1 bladder cancer patients
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mass spectrometry-based personalized medicine was used to uncover key information in T1-stage bladder cancer (BC) patients and used as a tool to aid clinical decision making. The urinary proteome of patients with recurring versus non-recurring T1-stage BC were compared to uncover information for clinical decision making. Our results suggest the urinary myeloperoxidase to cubilin ratio as a new tool to address recurrence as well as dysregulation of the inflammatory and immune systems as drivers of a worsening disease course. Furthermore, dysregulation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is pinpointed as the leading way by which malignancy progress in BC showing the formation of an inflammatory microenvironment that facilitates immune cell-matrix cross-talk and promotes a state of chronic inflammation. We conclude that inflammation dysregulation is an important driver of BC recurrence and progression, and that anti-inflammatory or immune checkpoint therapies should be further explored in the treatment of patients with BC.
